Do you have a security program that 'protects' you home page?

Download the free version of Malwarebytes and don't try the pro trial unless you wish to pay at a later date. Update it and run a full scan. Delete all it finds. Try a reboot to see if you can change your home page.

If that cures it download the free version of SuperAntiSpyware and update it and run a full scan to clear up cookies and any other missed bugs. Now you can now protect your homepage with SAS. Both these programs are very good and you will need to update them manually if you still wish to use the free versions. Worth keeping on the PC anyway.

Are you sure that it is the Natwest site and not a phishing site?

There is a few programs where you can safeguard your Home page.I think both SpywareBlaster and Spybot lets you do that so that no one can change your home page.

There must be other programs that do the same.
